CWE
  • CWE-401 - Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime
Summary
A Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime vulnerability in the Juniper Tunnel Driver (jtd) of Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved allows an unauthenticated network-based attacker to cause Denial of Service.  Receipt of specifically malformed IPv6 packets, destined to the device, causes kernel memory to not be freed, resulting in memory exhaustion leading to a system crash and Denial of Service (DoS). Continuous receipt and processing of these packets will continue to exhaust kernel memory, creating a sustained Denial of Service (DoS) condition. This issue only affects systems configured with IPv6. This issue affects Junos OS Evolved:  * from 22.4-EVO before 22.4R3-S5-EVO,  * from 23.2-EVO before 23.2R2-S2-EVO,  * from 23.4-EVO before 23.4R2-S2-EVO,  * from 24.2-EVO before 24.2R1-S2-EVO, 24.2R2-EVO. This issue does not affect Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved versions prior to 22.4R1-EVO.
